Poor Chris Hemsworth. Dude is coming from the 2nd biggest global hit ever and he can barely sell tickets to his movie.

 

Course while he can be funny and charming, he ain't no Will Smith from the 90s-2000s. Few actors can ooze out charm like he could.

Poor Shaft 

[Porthos]

Let me put it this way about MiB:I's current tally at Century Arden.

 

There are six showings, three in PLF.  It has sold 68 tickets so far.  Out of 1,263 seats (5.38%).  This is either the most trafficked theater in the region or right at the top with a couple of others. 

 

To put this in comparison, the 6pm PLF showing for Toy Story 4 has sold 73 tickets (out of 260). 

 

One showing of TS4 has outsold all of MiB:I at Arden.

 

Yeah. 

 

Reviews and WOM better be good is more or less what I am saying.  And even there it's probably too little/too late.

I am going to. . . assume that Lion King's tickets sales begin next Tuesday or the Tuesday right after.

The 26th, allegedly.  There was a leak posted over on one of the reddit subs (IIRC) that's been 100% accurate so far.

 

It being after TS4's OW sounds about right anyway, as Disney probably doesn't want anything taking away from it's OW buzz/fanfare.

26th, not 25th

Disney really is protected by a magic spell.

every victory come at a cost. memorial day weekend sacrifice. They sacrificed a potential $1.5B with just $0.95B this year.

[charlie Jatinder]

BTW I have started tracking US this year only, but what I have checked is that pre-sales are lower in summer. Homecoming barely had $9mn pre-sales for true Friday compared to $18mn Approx of Captain Marvel, however the final true friday for both films were $35mn and $41mn respectively.

Both mib and shaft are not looking good at previews up here. 

 

Hard to say how much is quality and how much is the "limited family movie budgets weve discussed", but these films, dark k phoenix and others are taking a hit

[UserHN]

Are we looking at a sub-20M OW for MIBI?

[XXR & Friends]

MIB:I DOM O/U TS4 1st Friday?

People are saving their money to see Spider Man.

 

Endgame was the movie that almost every single human being wanted to see.

 

John Wick 3 won a lot of people who loved previous movies, and people who watched them on dvd.

 

Aladdin is a classic.

Ah, so in that ballpark.

With MIB-I looking to bomb/underperform, The Joker is the only potential non-mcu cbm film to breakout this year

[Cookson]

With these bad tracking numbers for these upcoming films maybe Godzilla can sneak in a good hold this weekend.

[Joyous Legion]

Shaft has around the same presales for Thurs as Aladdin does...   

 

Spoiler

It looks like Uncle Drew sold almost all its OW Fandango tickets the day of or one day before, so I expect that to change drastically in 24 hours. Was too funny not to comment though.

FYI, with Atom until 6/16:

• MIB tickets are SEVEN DOLLARS off (yes, $7) if you have/use ChasePay
• Shaft tickets are Buy One, Get One Free

 

Now, Onto:

• So it actually sold relatively well at LS13 tonight.  The problem is with the exception of Rocketman, it's behind all the other comps in total sold.  It's right around Pika Pika and JW3 sat at the same time.
• And it sold like garbage at SMCM
